'''Wracktail''' is a boss that appears in the [[Wii]] video game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He claims to be the "God of Wrath". To defeat him, the same tactics must be utilized as those used to defeat his younger sibling, [[Fracktail]]. The player must wait for the boss to dive low along the ground, then jump on his back and use [[Thoreau]] to grab the [[Wrackle]]s and throw them and Wracktail's antenna. The player can also [[Super Jump]] with [[Luigi]] and land on top of his antenna.


'''Wracktail''' is a giant, lavender robotic dragon that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He stated that he was a wrathful god who was locked away by the [[Tribe of Ancients]], and [[Tippi]] says that he was the prototype for [[Fracktail]], who looks identical to Wracktail except for his color. Before the fight, he expresses anger at the heroes for disturbing his slumber and decides to kill them in turn. Wracktail is found at the bottom of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] and upon his defeat, [[Dashell]], a [[Pixl]], is obtained, and a Pipe appears, leading [[Mario]] and company back to the entrance of the Pit. Just as Fracktail is the ''Super Paper Mario'' equivalent of [[Hooktail]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Wracktail is the counterpart to [[Bonetail]].
He appears as an entirely white version of Fracktail, and resides at the bottom of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Once the player defeats this boss, [[Dashell]], a [[Pixl]], is obtained, and a Pipe appears, leading Mario and company back to the entrance of the Pit.


To defeat Wracktail, the same tactics must be utilized as those used to defeat Fracktail. The player must wait for the boss to dive low along the ground, then jump on his back and use [[Thoreau]] to grab the [[Wrackle]]s and throw them and Wracktail's antenna, which must be hit 30 times to defeat the dragon. It is also possible to damage the antenna by stomping it, either via [[Luigi]]'s [[Super jump (Super Paper Mario)|super jump]], or by landing on it when Wracktail flies in a loop.
Like Fracktail, Wracktail is referred to as an "it" by Tippi and a "he" in the Catch Card. She also believes that Wracktail is a "Prototype" of an improved Fracktail. Indeed, Wracktail is somewhat stronger than Fracktail, even in as a mere prototype.


Upon defeat, Wracktail warns the heroes that he was not the only monster created by the Ancients, referring to [[Shadoo]], and directs them to the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].
Wracktail claims that the [[Tribe of Ancients]] locked this mechanical dragon away in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]], though it is unspecified why.

==Trivia==
*Wracktail is [[Bonetail]]'s ''Super Paper Mario'' equivalent, as Fracktail is to [[Hooktail]].
*Wracktail is actually 10 times stronger than Fracktail, though the Catch Card claims that it's 100 times.
*In spite of his unusually high attack power, that of the Wrackles, his high HP, and that he is at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials, Wracktail may be easier than Fracktail if the player fights him with Luigi, as a Super Jump to the antenna will allow Luigi to continuously jump onto his antenna until he does a loop, and landing on top of his head is easier if a player uses Peach's umbrella.

==Trivia==
*Contrary to what his Catch Card description in English versions claims, Wracktail is only ten times stronger than Fracktail, not 100 times.
*His Catch Card description in the Japanese version claims he is Fracktail's "father" and simply mentions that he is stronger than his "son" despite fighting the same way. It also does not directly mention his status as the boss of the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, instead stating that he lurks "somewhere in this world".<ref>inu651225 (October 23, 2010). [https://youtu.be/DmnG1YznKq0?t=570 スーパーペーパーマリオ　全カード集｛ネタばれ注意｝]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 21, 2023.</ref>
*Unlike Fracktail, who speaks almost entirely in capital letters, Wracktail's speech is in the game's standard style. This is partially reversed in the Japanese version, where Fracktail only lapses into mostly-katakana speech when "scanning" Mario and while under Dimentio's spell, and Wracktail speaks entirely in katakana and kanji with katakana furigana.
